Watch your local news.
There’s rumors everywhere.
No indication on local Houston news.
heard the rumor
28 year old judge hidalgo is crazy enough to do it
has she ever even lived in Houston through a hurricane?
Similar letters have popped up in Washington State. Two things. Either there will be a national lockdown, or area lockdowns....or just preparation in case the country needs to do such a thing.
I was out and about in Alief today. I haven’t heard any such rumors. Walmart was business as usual, Kroger, too.
Here in Humboldt county California they’ve ordered us to shelter in place. I guess that beats mandatory evacuation.
Seeing several state/city ‘lock downs’ on Twitter.
No official word.
We will drive 40 miles to get good BBQ or hamburger...many times further.
And when we a low on beer?
letters are being issued for sure. authorization to (purchase, must pay for) fuel! no less.
this stuff was wargamed/modeled out long ago and they are getting to put it into play now.
there have been multiple posts here on the daily threads about odd military transports where they normally aren’t etc. dod has been deploying assets as per the domestic epidemic playbook for weeks, I believe.
Look it up on your phone.

Some of the top elected officials in Houston made clear on a conference call with Mayor Sylvester Turner on Wednesday that they agreed with him in resisting a complete lockdown of the city like has happened in the San Francisco Bay Area.
...Turner on Tuesday was already making clear he would not impose a shelter-in-place approach. “There will be no shelter in place” for the city, he said.
On Thursday in a separate meeting with U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, who represents northwest Harris County and Katy, the idea of a shutdown came up again. McCaul said Turner may not be ready to take such a step, but assured him that they have a contingency plan ready if that is actually needed.
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo has not ruled out the possibility in Harris County...
“”I’ve seen the letter.””
Try to get a copy of it and post it online so we can make our own personal get-out-of-jail=free letters
Not just Houston. We are going on nationwide lockdown per a document I saw recently.
How can there be a lockdown when you tell us that traveling papers are being issued? In other words, baloney.
I don’t think they’ll shut down the refinery/chemical plant money machine. That takes time and can have explosive side-effects.
My company issued all employees a travel letter yesterday with instructions to print it out and carry it with us
I just looked through the Houston articles for posting on the CV thread. Didn’t see anything of a lockdown. That said, they do need one.
Another guy collapsed in church and everyone rushed to his aide. There will be more cases from that all because he couldn’t stay home.
